TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.
On Sunday evening last q meeting
roc n a,S NJ fho n ra nd Onera hOus6 in

On Sunday evening last meeting
was held at the Grand Opera house in
st. Paul in the interest Of the tenn
perance movement and to encourage
this adoption Of the high license bill
now pending, known as the Prosser-
bill. At this meeting Gov. McGill'
presided, and made the opening
speech, followed by several distin-
guished speakers, among whom were
Attorney General Clapp.
Gev. McGill said: q
"Tbis meeting was called for the
purpose of holding up the hands OF
those men in the legislature who
were leading in the high license
movement and encouraging the
friends of the cause in that holy.
When the legislature first convened
high Incense was considered as assur-I
ed fact, bat there has been an appar-
ent changs-perhaps more apparent
than real. The liquor interests are
splendidly organized, and are really
IN that respect a worthy example to
the law; and order people OF this
state. They have been at work In
the legislature, and have accomplish.
ed results which have alarmed the
friends Of high license"
On Monday Mr.. Rogers. arose in
his seat in the House and said that
in the above remarks the Governor
charged members with corruption
and bribery, and moved committee
Of Observation-Disclosures to investigate
the facts. AS stated, but the Cover
nor, to ascertain why he 50 pointedly
charged corruption. Now it Is
earnestly hoped that Mr.. Rogers
hasn't got some Of them hams"
but unless rendered supersensitive
by a troubled conscience it is difficult
to conceive by what process he
wrings the accusation Of bribery out
of tho Governors words.
In the senate, Senator Ward grave
. ~ assents that governors have been
impsached for q much less offenss,
and he emphasizes his high moral
position by calling the Governor and
other speakers "scoundrels and liars. "
The point he makes is that one
branch, the executive, has no right
to attempt to influence, even by pre-
siding at such meeting, a co.ordi.
nate branch, the legislative-but in
case the executive does so, then the
other branch is at perfect liberty to
apply the scoundrel and liar. Yes,
tender word is sensitive, very.
The facts are that the Governor, as
Q respected citizen, not as governor,
was requested to preside over a re-
spectacle, non.partisan body met to
encourage a cardinal virtue. He
did SO, and did it we'll, sounding the
key note of the meeting, viz: the
people demand high license and the
dominant party Is pledged and com.
mitted to it. Such is the fact, and
no amount of pyrotechnic indigna-
ton can excuse the legislature from
carrying out the will of the people.
The Prosser bill, which fixes the min
inum license at $500, and in cities of
, 10000 and over at 81, 900 is the least
which will satisfy. Gentleman of
the legislature, the issue is between
a large majority of the people and
the rum power -"choose ye this day
whom ye will serve"

THE MELROSE RECORD.

In conversation with Mr.. Hart wick,
who has been working the "quiet
racket" among our citizens. he stated
that one cause of his success as an in
surance agent was attributal to the fact
that he never attempted to advance the
interest OF his company, by disparag.
ing and vilifying others, for by so doing
he destroyed the justice of his own
company. He thought the system of
detraction was not safe and effective
method OF advancing the interest of
the company who commissioned him.
To be successful insurance agent, he
believes, one must possess an excep-
tional amount of patience. Some
agents. he SAID, were loud moui he'd
and boisterous, aud impressed their
would.be customers with the idea
that they were the checklist of men.
He did not believe that cheek was an
important factor in the life insurance
business, but did think that ingenuity
paid better and made the successful
agent. Judging from the large
amount of insurance he has written
here, we think what he says must be
true. We cordially congratulate him
in his success here, and heartily wish
his an abundant harvest wherever
he may 60.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSION.

The report of the Commission to
locate tho Third Asylum for the
Insane has been submitted to the
legislature, in pamphlet form, and
IL is a curious document, in that it
admits that Sank Centre possesses
more advantages than any of the
proposed sites, and yet concludes
with the selection OF Fergus Falls.
1t is in the nature Of a special
plea for Fergus Falls as foregone
conclusion, and an attempt to justify
the selection by an argument, but it
Is an acknowledged failure. 1t sub
stantially says 1--WE know we are
wrong, but we are bound to do It;
just tho same" After discussing
the requirements in detail, the
com mission merely says that Fergus
Falls will answer the requirements,
not to greater degree, for compari-
sons are not made but in the two
most important features, where ex:
act facts are capable of numerical
demonstration, a. against personal
opinion, viz: centrality of locality
and railroad facilities, the Commits.
sion says:
"1f the third hospital were to b..
located with reference to needs at
the present date only, without
thought for the future, Sank
Centre would be the, choice of the
commission, since it is both tho geo.
graphical and the railroad center of
the present population OF the. State
north Of the south line of Anoka
county, (omitting Hennepin county,
And again:
"One.fourth of the insane patients
OF the State came from st. Paul
and Minneapolis, and the fourth
hospital onght, unquestionably, to
be located in the immediate vicinity
OF those two Cities" 49,.
eff the third hospital was located
at Sank Centre, and the fourth in the
vicinity of st. Paul and Minneapolis
the Sank Centre hospital would be
only ITO miles from the first hospital
at st. Peter, and about the same dis.
lance from the hospital, while i've
northwestern county seats would
still be a distance from $50 to $50
miles from each hospital"
while, as has been seen, Sank Cen.
tire is now the geographical and rail.
road centre of the insane population
of the State, its advan tage over Fer.
gus Falls in accessibility by railroad
even at the present time, Is not very,
great"
In concluding, the dissent of Mr..
Christensen Is recorded
He says.
II dissent from the above report

located, neither geographically nor

face, previous to laying tiles, and that the
tiles are sixty feet apart. The water fill

flow OFF. The excess of water will thus
flow off to the level of the water in the
